Rajya Sabha Chairman express his displeasure over members for disturbing parliament

New Delhi Feb 10: Indias Vice president and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu has expressed his displeasure about the proceedings of the upper house in the first leg of budget session which was concluded yesterday.

Upper House Chairman has said that " he was deeply disturbed over the way there was an utter disregard for parliamentary procedure and the unruly behavior by members during the Budget Session of Parliament."

He added that "I must confess that I am deeply pained at the way this session has progressed... What I am deeply disturbed with is the utter disregard for the parliamentary procedure and the unruly behavior so unbecoming of the high position we occupy in the society as parliamentarians".

Naidu has also said that "as chairman, it was his responsibility as he was accountable to the people, to see how the House was conducted and how discussions are done."

"Let us not have slanging matches between parties and stoop down to competing with each other on unparliamentary language or behavior. When we meet again in March, it is my fervent hope and an earnest appeal to each one of you that we shall turn a new leaf in our Parliament's history through orderly, informed and constructive debates" he concluded.
